We are open for further consultations on new Estonian-Latvian cooperation ideas!

Being a “shadow” means quite a passive and active observation task on the same time. As our programme has only one Information and consultation point in Riga, it was a great opportunity and a pleasure as well to follow the agenda of a somewhat bigger communication team of the Central Baltic Sea Region programme.

The programme is looking for the programme consultant with the Latvian language, who would temporarily replace the programme consultant on parental leave. Employment will be offered from January 2017 until summer 2018 in the Joint Secretariat in Tartu, in Estonia.

On 7 October the Estonia-Latvia programme received 43 cooperation project applications. For the first time all the applications were successfully submitted electronically, by using the electronic monitoring system of the programme.

Today we celebrate#ECdayand its benefits working together across the Europe. Altogether over 70 events, 29 of which are on 21 September, are organized and taking place in these days. Estonia-Latvia programme celebrated cooperation on 17 September together with 211 participants, willing to do joint work, take part in challenging workshops and have a sporty ride with kick-bikes from the Estonia-Latvia border.

On 3 August the Estonian Ministry of Finance sent out letters to Estonian harbours located on the coasts of the Gulf of Riga. These harbours could qualify for participation in a joint Estonian-Latvian harbours' development project.

The aim of the seminar is to begin practical preparations of the joint harbours' project, which is a pre-defined project to support the creation of a network of small harbours on the western coast of Latvia and around the Gulf of Riga. Representatives from the pre-selected partners are invited to participate.

Estonia-Latvia programme invites you to the joint work activities on the 17 September in Lilli Nature house (Estonia) and joint bread baking in Ķoņi mill (Latvia). You will also have a chance to kick-bike from the Estonian-Latvian border to Ķoņi mill. The events of the day are organized in the framework of the European Cooperation Day 2016 celebrations and are meant for all friends of the Estonian-Latvian cooperation, both young and adults!

We have reached the second stage of the first call for proposals. Now it is time to start developing full applications and to get aquinted with the programme rules and procedures in more detail. A workshop for those who plan to submit full application is organized in Tihemetsa, Estonia on 24 August, 2016.

Project „Reconstruction of Road Ape-Mõniste“ celebrated today, on 21 August, 2015, the official opening of a newly reconstructed road. The opening ceremony took place on the border between Estonia and Latvia, which this road crosses.
